Bird Scooters are Now in Neenah

The new transportation option can be activated through Bird’s free mobile phone application. 

A few things to remember when riding scooters in the City of Neenah:

• You must be 18 or older to ride.
• Only one rider per Bird.
• Ensure you stick to riding on the road in Downtown Neenah; riding on the sidewalk is prohibited.
• The Bird app will indicate areas of “preferred parking.” Riders can stop their ride in these locations to receive a discount on their next ride.
• When parking the scooters, keep scooters in an upright position with two wheels making point of contact with the ground. Ensure that the sidewalk is free from obstruction.
• The app will not allow riders to end their ride on all bridges, overpasses and roundabouts.
• Scooters are prohibited in the parking ramp and skate park.

See a scooter being improperly ridden or parked?  In the bottom left corner of the Bird mobile app, click on the Community Mode icon and file a report.  Otherwise, you can contact Bird by email at hello@bird.co or at their 24/7 support line +1(866) 205-2442.  For more information, check out Bird Micro-Electric Mobility: Electric Bikes and Scooters For Cities.
